How tlie Carpet-baggers Get Rich. "We have several times endeavored to show how this most infamous classjof Northern men, known throughout the South as "carpet-baggers," went into the Southern States as soon as the war was over, and in a very short time built up large fortunes. Some days ago we showed that this was generally done by increasing largely the debts of the several States, and putting millions thereby in their pockets. They would first get control of the State governments

keeping the

white men disfranchised by Congressipn-

legislation, then managing the black vote to their interests, and thus having their grip on the Southern people, issue Stale bonds to any amount. The case was ably summed up the other day by Colonel Grosvenor, of St. Louis, and the result is most astounding. '•It must be borne in mind that the debts incurred by the rebel State Governments during the war were obliterated and repudiated in the course of reconstruction, and that these changes have all occurred since reconstruction. These are not results of the destruction of property in the war. The burden of the war was fought out in Virginia arid the interior States of Kentucky, Tennessfee, Arkansas, and Missouri, in nearly all of which, owing to the ascendency of white population, carpet-bag

rule has been

either short or wholly impossible. In these States there is no such serious decline, either in the area of lands culti vated or in their value, and in some of them there is

increase of both, and es

pecially no such serious increase of dqbt and of taxation. The carpet-bag States are North and South Carolina, Florida, Georgia, Alabama,

Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas,

and Texas. In North Carolina, the debt has been increased from $12,000,000 to $34,000,000, the State taxes are four-fold what they were in 1860, and the, three years of taxes now in arrears threaten the confiscation of half the land in the State. The value

the lands of the State has

declined from $143,000,000 in I860 to $78,000,000 in 1870, or one-half, as found

In South Caroliua, a debt of $4,407,950 in 1860 has been sent up to $31,000,000, he taxes have been increased seven-fold, the value of the lands has fallen to onethird the value in 1850, and one-third of the laud then cultivated now lies waste.

In Florida, the debt has been increased forty-fold (from $370,000 to $15,000,000), taxation has risen seven-fold, and the value

of forms

has declined from $16,000,-

000 to $10,000,000, though the area of land cultivated

ifns

been slightly increased.

In Georgia, the debt is ten times greater, the taxation is ten times greater, the value of farms has declined from $157,000,000 in 1S60 to $94,000,000

the area of improved lands has fallen from 8,000,000 acres to 6,800,000 acres, and the defaulting carpet-bag Governor (Bullock) has run away with a large pile of the State bonds, exactly how many

perhaps, never be known. In Alabama, the debt is quintupled, taxes are ten-fold what they were in I860, one-fifth less land is cultivated, and the value of the entire lands of the State has decliued nearly two-thirds, or from $175,000,000 in 1860 to $67,000,000 to-day.

In Mississippi, owing to past repudiation, they have uot been able to sell many bonds, but the cost of the State government is six times

ernment is seven and one-half times greater, taxes are thirteen fold, and tl^9 value of farms has declined from $88,000,000 to $60,000,000.

In Arkansas, the State taxes are four and one-half time%greater, the value

The total diminution in improved lands for these carpet-bagStates is 6,600,000 acres, the loss in value of improved farms is $662,000,000, and the increase in State debts is $200,000,000.

slight advance, but enough to show that the tide is turned and the State &

vancing. The assessed valuation, however, has not yet reeched the figures of 1860. In Missouri, the acres improved have increased from 6,246,871 in 1860 to 9,130,615 in 1870, while the value of farms has swelled from $230,632,126 in 1860 to $392,908,047. This

the profit Missouri

derives by being "overrun by Liberalism." Virginia, in the aggregate, shows a decline but the decline exists in fact in the lower sections of the State, wherein the carpet-bag element preponderates.

The

blooded horses 'kepit in the-Government stables (the building of which cbsts the people over thirty-five thousand dollars) and his pleasures at Long Branch, have occupied all his time and attention. He has been all the time on the "run" and the "make," and it is not to be supposed he can find time to give the affairs of the Government any attention. To do that, he does not consider a part of his official duty, and really it is a question

he could understand the situation of affairs in the South, even were he to take a few moments from his fast horses, perfumed cigars, imported brandies, seaside loiterings, first-rate dinners and public exhibitions of himself, and try to understand the great duties incumbent on him, as the Chief Executive officer in this Government.

this matter is substantially equivalent

his stealing the money from the Treasury. He has just as good a right to go into Mr. A. T. Stewarts' safe or into Riggs & Co.'s bank and take the money there without authorization, as he had to take it out of the Treasury of the United States.

The most valuable of these documents, and indeed the only one which has interest enough to

be worth publishing, is

Jaifjob Thompson's report. Now the fact is that all the information contained in this paper was already in the possession of the Government, in a form quite as authentic and from a source quite

much entitled to confidence.
